URlNAL-FITTING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 341,310, dated May 4,1886.

Application filed December 31, 1884. Serial No. 151,617. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Janus BARRETT, of Boston, in the county of Suffolkand State of Massachusetts, have invented certain newand usefulImprovements in Urinal-Fittings, of

which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This improvement in couplings or fittings for urinal-bowls consists in ahorizontal gutter exteriorly surrounding the body of the fitting,preferably at its upper end, and a passage or passages leading from saidgutter into the water-way of the fitting, all substantially ashereinafter described.

In the drawings the improved fitting for urinal-bowls above described isrepresented, and Figure l is a vertical section of a urinalbowl,waste-pipe, connecting-fitting for bowl and waste-pipe, and wall orpartition supporting bowl and fitting. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of thefitting detached and on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a central verticalsection,from front to rear, of fitting and lower portion of bowl.

In the drawings, A represents a standing urinal bowl or basin of theordinary construction.

B is the waste-water or discharge pipe of the bowl, and O is theimproved fitting connecting said pipe and bowl.

F is the water way or passage of the fitting 0, running from thedischarge-opening a of the bowl to the waste-pipe, for conducting andcarrying off the water, 850., from the bowl to the waste-pipe. Thiswater-way F consists of a vertical portion, K,and ahorizontal portion,S, which meet at and join with a depression or cavity, G, 1n'ojectingdownward from the horizontal portion S and di rectly below the verticalportion K. This cavity G, in the use of the bowl, makes a receptacle forretaining water, as it passes through the fitting from the bowl, againstpassing off through the horizontal portion S of the fitting to thewaste-pipe.

H is a partition or wall. extending entirely across the waterpassage Fof the fitting, in front but in advance of the horizontal portion Sthereof, and projecting downward below the water-level of the depressionG, established by the horizontal position of the lower side of thehorizontal portion S of the water-way F, and into the water retained insaid depression,

of cleaning the fitting of obstructions,&c., and 6 5 with the screwstopper removed it obviously enables it to be done most readily. Thescrewstopper should make a close joint with the clean-out opening, andshould be adapted to be attached and removed with readiness, andpreferably made with a square head or projection, 0, for receiving awrench to screw into and out of the opening.

L is a gutter surrounding the outside of the fitting, and preferably itsupper end and just below the bowl, when the fitting is in place, and Mis a vertical passage leading from said gutter downward and entered andopening into the water-way of the fitting, preferably, as shown,belowthe water-level of the water-trap ping recess G; but it may open to saidwaterway above said water-level. Opening the passage M to the water-wayF below the waterlevel of the water-trap recess G obviously secures awater trapping or sealing of said passage. This gutter L andcommunicating pas sage M between it and the water-way F of the fittingoperate to catch the drippings upon the outside of the bowl and toconduct and carry them into the water-way of the fitting, to be fromthence carried off into the waste-pipe.

T is a hub interiorly shouldered at b, and making the upper part of thevertical portion K of the waterway F of the fitting. This hub T receivesthe nipple U of the bowl, lead ing from and making a part of andcontinuing the discharge-opening a of the bowl. The joint between thenipple of the bowl and the hub of the fitting is to be packed in any ofthe usual ways or otherwise suitably against leakage of water.

The outer end, Q, of the horizontal portion S of the fitting isexteriorly screw-threaded, as at d, and it receives a screwthreadedferrule, W, which passes through and is within a hole, f, through thevertical wall or partition X, to which the bowl A is attached and whichsupports it, as usual. The ferrule exteriorly is shouldered at g, and itis entered into the waste-pipe and fastened thereto by a wiped joint ofsolder, or otherwise suitably fastened against accidental detachment andleakage.

Y is a screw nut or flange screwing upon the screw -threaded portion Sof the fitting, and which is screwed upon it before screwing on theferrule W. This screw-nut is jammed against the front side of the wallor partition X, to which the bowl is fastened, and thus the fitting issecured in place. Obviously, by this ferrule attachment of the fittingto the wastepipe and screw-nut attachment of the fitting to thepartition supporting the bowl, the receiving end of the fitting for thebowl can be most accurately adjusted horizontally to its position toreceive the nipple of the bowl when the bowl is fastened to thepartition or wall.

The fitting for connecting a urinal-bowl to its waste-pipe, hereindescribed, excepting the screw-stopper E, screw-ferrule \V, and screwnutY, is preferably cast of metalsuch as brassin one piece, and a fittingfor such purpose having'a water-trap or sealing-recess, G, a clea11 -outopening, D, a drip-catching gutter, L, and passage h/Lleading from it tothe waterway F of the fitting, all combined and constructedsubstantially as described, and the the outside in lieu of upon theinside of said opening, or otherwise secured to the fitting for readyattachment and detachment.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1s

In a coupling or fitting to make connection between a urinal-bowl andits water-way, a gutter, L, exteriorly surrounding the fitting, and apassage, M, leading from said gutter into the water-way, substantiallyas described,

for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

JAMES B ARRETT.
